Another Dundee house mourns the loss of its breadwinner.
Information was received yesterday that Private Patrick M’Gann, of the 3d Black Watch had been killed in action on 30th October. Five days previously his wife, who, along with her three young children, lives at 22 Todburn Lane, received a cheery letter from her husband, in which he stated that he was keeping well. Private M’Gann, who was 27 years of age, was a reservist, and before rejoining the colours was working in Manhattan Works, Dundee.
